Stan Van Gundy has a lot of work to do in his second offseason as Pistons coach/GM. The roster should go through some change as they try to get back to the playoffs. Here are the top five rumors surrounding the Pistons as they head into the offseason.

5. Caron Butler's Future

5. Caron Butler's Future

Caron Butler's contract isn't guaranteed next year, and the Pistons might decide to move on from him after one season. Van Gundy likes his outside shooting and leadership, but his roster spot might need to go to a younger player. Butler would earn 4.5 million if the Pistons bring him back.

4. Will They Lock Up Andre Drummond?

4. Will They Lock Up Andre Drummond?

Andre Drummond still has two years left before he becomes a restricted free agent, but the Pistons might want to consider extending him early. The question would be whether or not Drummond would agree to that. He hasn't been a part of any team success in Detroit and might not want to be locked in for any more years.

3. Will Another Team Offer Reggie Jackson a Big Deal?

3. Will Another Team Offer Reggie Jackson a Big Deal?

It is pretty clear that Stan Van Gundy wants to bring Reggie Jackson back, but for what price? Another team could decide to overpay for Jackson, which would force Detroit's hand. He played great over the final month of the season, but will that be enough to warrant a massive contract extension.

2. Greg Monroe Will Leave in Free Agency

2. Greg Monroe Will Leave in Free Agency

This has been the rumor surrounding the team all year long. Greg Monroe decided to sign the qualifiying offer last offseason so that he could be an unrestricted free agent this year. That typically ends with the player going elsewhere. The biggest rumor is that Monroe will sign with the New York Knicks.

1. The Pistons Will Make a Run at Draymond Green

Draymond Green has been linked to the Detroit Pistons as a possible Monroe replacement. He is from Michigan and will be a restricted free agent this summer. Detroit would be crazy not to at least offer him a long-term deal and see what Golden State does. He would be a great fit alongside Andre Drummond.
